"I was a little furious so I called the school just to re-verify the story, and it was that he refused to take off his Vera Bradley bag. Nothing more to it," said Leslie Willis, Skylar's mother.

Willis scanned the student handbook and it made no mention of bags and purses. She questioned the decision to suspend her son and also the timing.

"Skylar has been going to school since August every morning with that same Vera Bradley bag on. Has not taken it off. What is the problem today?"

KCTV 5 called the school and left messages on assistant Principal Hillard's office and cell phone. KCTV 5 also went to his house. Hillard did not respond for comment.

Meanwhile, Skylar's family and friends are supporting his decision to carry his purse, especially since girls get to carry their purses on campus.

"Why don't they get kicked out? He gets kicked out for a purse. That doesn't make sense. It's not right," said Dakota Haight, Skylar's brother. "I don't think everyone should be treated differently. Everyone should have the same privileges."

Willis said she was told that the suspension wouldn't be lifted until Skylar stops wearing the purse, which he says he won't do.
